Praying for someone to beat the shit out of Trump with a mech suit

Most people allow habit to dictate what activities they do. They don't make a conscious choice. Without a conscious choice to play Balatro regularly, a habit can't be formed. Once a person sacrifices conscious control over their daily routine, it's very hard to come back. They've become a zombie.

Well situations like this can be really ambiguous. It's not as clear cut as "from the river to the sea"

You got anything distanced from OpenAI? Maybe GPL licensed? I'm going to look into this, but OpenAI smells funny.

Only antisemites think genocide is bad. /s

Pretty sure there are societies that don't have a state OR money. One might even call them stateless moneyless societies. You know, communism.

Unironically, I find Arch easier to use than Debian

Capitalism is an outside context problem.

Movies that are just about punching the bad guy are boring. Like Man Of Steel. Snyder failed to connect the character themes and drama to the action in a meaningful way.

Seeing Marc, Steven, and Jake grapple with how to oppose Amit's ideology, and disagree, is great. Steven and Marc are broken, foolish men. But they have ideals and values. They think the only way to defeat Amit ideologically is to make a stand against killing bad people. I mean, she's a god. She gets stronger when people follow her ideology. Steven and Marc think the answer is to find a way to disable the enemy without killing, and thereby prove Amit's ideology wrong and weaken her.

And Jake doesn't give a fuck, like the more traditional depictions of Moon Knight.

I want to see a season 2 where the three come to understand one another, and where these religious questions are grappled with on a deeper level. As you say, killing bad people isn't always wrong. Perhaps they could have a discussion about how the pantheon exists for a reason, and you can't just destroy one of your gods with no consequences. Killing bad people has its place, the problem is just that Amit wanted to be too powerful.

Well that's just how evil capitalism is

Not many Marvel superheroes with schizophrenia and DID. I value the show because of the representation. I've never seen such a good depiction of plurality on TV. And I'm also a fan of Moon Knight in the comics. My favourite run is From The Dead. I love the sass with which he informs the somnologist that a Paladin of Khonsu is well qualified to treat dream problems.

Yeah, but Steven and Marc haven't reached that point in their character development yet. They don't fully understand who they are and what Moon Knight is. They don't know about Jake. Jake does kill people in cold blood. The implication is that in season 2, Steven and Marc will have to come to terms with that, just as they both came to terms with each other. This is an origin story.

Aang is carrying an entire culture on his back. If he loses his way as an Air Nomad, then the genocide of his people is complete, and the world will never again be restored to balance.

Yeah, but she's forgetting about Aang's cultural duty to his people. He's the last Air Nomad. If Aang intentionally takes a life, then that cultural aspect of the Air Nomads is dead forever in his eyes.

But I have had to worry about cars cooking the atmosphere with their pollution and ending the entire human species. And I think that's worse than leptospirosis.

That's one more anecdote from a communist country than you've given.

I said YOUR country wasn't communist in the last 2000 years. Many were. Like Catalonia. Like I told you.

Trans women were allowed to compete in the Olympics in 2004. That's 21 years ago. Six olympics.

The Paris Olympics had 11,040 athletes. The Athens Olympics had 10,600. Let's average those for 10,800 and say 64,8000 athletes competed in the Summer Olympics since trans women were allowed.

Only one transgender athlete has ever won an Olympic medal. Their name is Quinn, they're a soccer player from Canada. And they were born female. They won two medals.

So the percentage of trans people in the general population is 1%, the percentage of Olympic athletes who are trans and won a medal is 0.0015%, and the percentage of Olympic athletes who were born male and won a medal in the women's league is 0.0000%.

What you should be understanding from these figures is that trans women will never dominate sporting events of any kind. We suck at sports because we're all big nerds. Any trans person who is good at sports is a freak.
